I have tried to search on the xymon archives page for a solution but the search is not work.  Is there a way to get rid of ghost clients in hobbit.  I have treid the drop command but it still stays on the hobbitd page.

On second thought is this a ghost client as reported by the server daemon?
This means a client is sending data to the server but the server didn't have
a matching host in bb-hosts.

Yes I think the server was in the bb-host file but was replaced by something else.

Easy: Make sure they are defined in the hosts.cfg file (bb-hosts 
if you're not on 4.3.0-beta3). If it's already there but with a
different name - e.g. you have the FQDN in bb-hosts, but the client
is reporting with a plain hostname without the domain - then use
the "CLIENT:<alias>" definition to match the two.

Or stop the client running on the server that you don't want to 
monitor.

Sounds to me like you need to delete the files.

That's old BB knowledge. Xymon doesn't use files for any live data,
only historical data. See my previous response - there is probably 
a client running on the now-deleted-from-bb-hosts server.

And if you do want to delete files, then sending a "drop" command for the 
host is a much cleaner way. And it makes sure all files are dropped.

Henrik

Ahh, thanks for the clarification.  Obviously I have some BB blood left.

I did a find for the files but I find no files that reference the ghost clients host name. Is there any other way i can remove them.

If they show up in the hobbitd test, the problem is not that there are any files. The problem is that a client is sending data using a hostname that is not in bb-hosts. You need to fix this on the client, either disable the client or configure it to use the correct hostname.
